Douglas Squirrel (Chickaree)
This is my friend that was watching me as much as I was watching him. I put my camera bag down on the ground and I had left the top open. This lil’ guy and his friends were very intrigued with the ‘open bag’. They ran around a bit, waiting for me to leave it unattended and ‘chripped’ at me a lot. Finally, I zipped up my camera bag and they left to go chase each other else where. (and possible score some other goodies)
Moss on Old Redwood
I thought that this moss was cool looking growing up this giant trunk of Redwood.
Moss & Leaves
Usually in the Winter, I think of everything as white with brown trees. The drought and recent rains have added some color back into the nature palate. I was really enjoying the green through the forest on the valley floor.
Path Along the Merced
I parked my car at Fern Spring and went down to the bank of the Merced River. There is an old path that runs between the roadway and the river until you get to the meadow. I loved how the moss was growing over the rocks and up the trees. It provided a nice contrast to the photo.
Morning in Yosemite
I drove into Yosemite on Sunday but I was too late for the sunrise 
but I wasn’t about to let the day go to waste. Drove down to Yosemite Valley and wandered the banks of the Merced River for the better part of the morning. In the distance you can see Bridal Veil Falls and if you look really close, you can see its reflection in the Merced.
Boardwalk at Sunset in Yellowstone
The sun was setting, the warm colors were reflecting off the stream & water in the hot springs.
Doggie Snow Angel
Just a fun photo for the weekend. My dog making her version of snow angels
Postcard from Yosemite
I never get tired of this view of Yosemite Valley. You’ve probably seen a billion photos from this angle but there’s something about this area that I see something inspiring every time. In this shot the looming storm clouds in the distance made this shot appealing.
